Cobb Place

Cobb Place is a shopping center at 840 (originally numbered 800) Barrett Parkway in northern Cobb County, Georgia, just southeast of Kennesaw (a suburb of Atlanta). It opened in 1987, the year after the main shopping attraction at Town Center at Cobb mall, on the other side of Interstate 75.

The original anchor stores were (from left/south to right/north) Lechmere ("leech-meer"), Service Merchandise, and Uptons (all of which went out of business nationally), and entertainment outlets Q-Zar and 8-screen AMC Theatres .

Lechmere's location later became the giant Phar-Mor drugstore, meant to be a direct competitor to supermarket-sized Drug Emporium (both of which are now also defunct). The same location later became Bed Bath & Beyond, which in 2003 moved to a newly constructed anchor store right next to itself. That space was originally several smaller stores, torn down and reconstructed to accommodate another large retail chain. After agreeing to the space, that chain (specializing in baby clothing and furniture) merged with another more-established chain which already had an existing location across the street, and thus the new space was never finished. The former BB&B space was completely gutted, and became a Discount Shoe Warehouse (DSW).
